I totally understand where you are right now. I was banded in July 2010 and I just had a two month plateau. Its officially over though. I started a new workout plan that has helped change things up and the scale is finally moving again.

girls. i needed to read this, im totally plateaued! I feel like I'm doing a lot of things right, but its discouraging! i guess we will just keep our heads up!

Sounds like you are very busy! I lost my job and am having trouble finding another one. On April 4, I turned 57 and even though I don't think that is old, the employers do. I have lost 27 pounds since October when I started the liquid diet and then Nov. 4 when I was banded. I feel like I could have lost more if my surgeon would listen to me. He did give me 1 full cc on Monday and I was very thankful for that. I am torn about him telling me not to exercise. I feel like I should be. Everyone else is. He said that exercising doesn't constitute weight loss. I am confused. I am losing but only 2 to 3 pounds per month. Isn't it supposed to be 2 to 3 pounds per week? I am feeling blue over not having a job. I do get unemployment, but it runs out in June. I am worried. I am trying to just enjoy my grandchildren. I spend time with them and consider myself very fortunate that I have this oportunity to do so. They make my life so worthwhile. I am praying that something good will happen job wise. Anyway, you sound so busy. Don't forget to take time to smell the roses! Best wishes!

Thanks! I did start to up my exercise program today. It makes a person feel better to know that others have experienced the same thing and they are on the other side of it now. I am hopeful to be moving with this weight loss again soon!

I would be confused too if my doctor told me not to exercise. I mean...I watch the "Biggest Loser" (LOL) and they encourage all age groups (ours included) to exercise. I know that I was losing weight faster when I had time to get more exercise in my schedule. I am working very hard to make it a priority. If this is your weight loss doctor ...I might get a second opinion with my family physician about the exercise. Also,

I am hopeful that you can find a job that you want soon! Good luck...and keep enjoying those grandchildren...make those memories!!!

I know...it is so frustrating. Keep at it and this too shall past! Soon...we will both be on our way again. We just need to persevere!
